Critical Analysis of Association Constants between Calixarenes and Nitroaromatic Compounds Obtained by Fluorescence. Implications for Explosives Sensing. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28073052. [PMID: 37049813 PMCID: PMC10096452 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28073052] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2023] [Revised: 03/24/2023] [Accepted: 03/27/2023] [Indexed: 04/14/2023] Open
Abstract
The binding behaviour of two ureido-hexahomotrioxacalix[3]arene derivatives bearing naphthyl (1) and pyrenyl (2) fluorogenic units at the lower rim towards selected nitroaromatic compounds (NACs) was evaluated. Their affinity, or lack of it, was determined by UV-Vis absorption, fluorescence and NMR spectroscopy. Different computational methods were also used to further investigate any possible complexation between the calixarenes and the NACs. All the results show no significant interaction between calixarenes 1 and 2 and the NACs in either dichloromethane or acetonitrile solutions. Moreover, the fluorescence quenching observed is only apparent and merely results from the absorption of the NACs at the excitation wavelength (inner filter effect). This evidence is in stark contrast with reports in the literature for similar calixarenes. A naphthyl urea dihomooxacalix[4]arene (3) is also subject to the inner filter effect and is shown to form a stable complex with trinitrophenol; however, the equilibrium association constant is greatly overestimated if no correction is applied (9400 M-1 vs 3000 M-1), again stressing the importance of taking into account the inner filter effect in these systems.

Abstract
A macrocyclic tetra-imidazolium salt (2) based on quinoxaline was prepared and characterized. The recognition of 2 to nitro compounds was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy, 1H NMR titrations, MS, IR spectroscopy, and UV/vis spectroscopy. The results displayed that 2 was able to effectively differentiate p-dinitrobenzene from other nitro compounds via the fluorescence method.

Abstract
Covalently linked multiple calixarenes are valued in supramolecular chemistry. This work reports an easy and versatile synthetic route to covalently linked double and triple calix[4]arene and calix[6]arenes by a novel DMF-controlled selective alkylation of a convenient and readily available upper-rim dimethylaminomethyl-substituted tetrahydroxy and hexahydroxy calix[4]arene and -[6]arenes. Synthetic routes to upper-rim functionalised redox active disulfide-linked double-, tetra- and peptidohybrid-calixarenes employing either redox chemistry (CH2 SH) or thiolates (CH2 S- ) are also opened up from the same key starting material.
